If Company elects to send such emails itself, Provider may require Company to use a Provider-supplied template or obtain Provider’s prior written approval of Company’s proposed messaging.

4.2.3 Customer Billing. Except for Partner Billing, as between Company and Provider, Provider shall have the sole right and responsibility to collect all amounts due from customers in connection with Ecommerce Services. In addition, Company may request credits and refunds via the API, but only Provider has the power to authorize and issue the same.

4.2.4 Partner Billing. If Company elects Partner Billing for particular transaction(s), then Company has the sole right and responsibility to collect all amounts due from customers in connection with Ecommerce Services for such transaction(s), and also is responsible for processing all credits and refunds to customers in a timely manner for orders that are cancelled, voided, refunded, charged back, not fulfilled or the like. If Provider is informed by Company of such credits and refunds and elects to make them, then Provider would issue the credits or refunds to Company (and not to Company’s customers).

4.2.5 Enhanced Fraud Detection. Company shall be responsible for costs, up to the amount of the commissions, which are due to any order which is not paid for due to fraud. For transactions other than Partner Billing, Company may elect to collect and pass the customer’s internet protocol address via the API to Provider for Provider’s use in fraud detection (“Enhanced Fraud Detection”).

4.2.6 Taxes. Provider will be responsible for the proper payment of sales tax and will charge sales tax according to the prevailing rate for Flagler County, Florida. For the avoidance of doubt, if Company (and/or any Tier 2 Company) is also a party to an Affiliate Agreement with Provider, then this Section 4.2.6 applies in addition to Section 5 (Commissions) of such Affiliate Agreement, with respect to sales made in connection with the Company Application.
